Kishan hits out at critics for belittling party victory
BJP floor leader in the Telangana State Assembly G Kishan Reddy has come down heavily on the Opposition parties for belittling the people’s verdict in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh State Assembly elections.
Hyderabad: BJP floor leader in the Telangana State Assembly G Kishan Reddy has come down heavily on the Opposition parties for belittling the people’s verdict in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh State Assembly elections.
Addressing media here on Tuesday, the BJP leader said despite the BJP had been winning one State after another, those losing people’s trust were coming together with new stories and theories to paint a poor picture of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he felt.
He said the Congress with its alliance partners like Samajwadi party and other parties had fought the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh on GST and demonetisation. However, people had rejected them. Still, the Congress continued to harp on the agendas and issues rejected by the people, he pointed out.
Admitting BJP had not fared well in certain rural pockets of Gujarat wherein the farmers were angry over not getting the minimum support price (MSP), for their agriculture produce. However, it was not a specific to Gujarat, but it was the case across the country, he claimed.
That apart, the BJP had made a clean sweep across the urban areas in almost all the municipal corporations in that State, he said. Adding to this, the SC, ST, and BCs in the State had rejected the communal politics played by the Congress by extending their support to the BJP.
It was against this backdrop that though there was fall in the seats won by the BJP, the percentage of votes it secured had increased. Those trying to belittle the BJP’s victory should know that even after a 22-year rule, the voting percentage for the party had not come down and asked to take note of the same. The BJP leader also questioned as to why the same people remained mum over the Congress losing the Himachal Pradesh after a five-year rule.
